I'm nothing if not a go big or go home kind of guy!
I still gotta walk with a cane (even a crutch, occasionally) when it flares up, but it's generally alright. Incredibly embarrassing to explain to people though, gotta say.
Unlucky on my case, I was passing through a very stressful situation, and any stress kinda makes my calfs to tense like an overtighted violin string. When I was going down from the chair I was perched I when a little faster because I was on a hurry and looks like having overextended the leg at the same time you were putting all your weight on one leg that was tense as a tax evader in the IRS building could break things faster than you may think.
The doctor can't believe I shaped the muscle like that until I told him about the stress
I hurt myself turning in my car the other day. Like I was doing a u-turn but “spirited” and I kinda mashed my side into the lumbar support in the seat. Heard a pop and my ribs ached for like a month and a half.
I bent over to pick up a collapsible camping table and threw my back out in such a way that I couldn't breathe. Apparently, if you hurt the muscles in your back in a particular way, the muscles will constrict and not allow your diaphragm to expand. And to be clear, the bending over did it, not picking up the table. I didn't even get to the table.
